Default Bohning cresting paint?

Guys, I've gotta buy some cresting paints - Bohning Fletch Lac- anyway, looking for the best place to get them cheap. Found a few places for $5.99/oz, but that seems a little steep for a tiny bottle of paint. There's gotta be an online store that has them a little cheaper... Six bucks isn't bad, but when you're looking to buy 5-10 cans, it adds up...

Also, if any of you guys have gotten out of hand-cresting (wraps), I'd be willing to buy your old bohning arrowpainting stuff if you have some laying around - doesn't have to be brand new cans, as long as it's not dried up.

How much different is this stuff than the Testor's model paint I've always used?

That's what I use too. 1.33 a bottle then I spay with lacquer through my air brush. Here are some I did last week.

Bohning paints are a fast drying lacquer. Testors paints are oil based enamel. I just finished these up this afternoon for a customer in Indiana.

I sell it for 5.50/oz out of my shop. Could make a bit better deal if you bought several.
